Have no allergies to leaves that are shiney. So sunburn or a new tattoo and a sunburn- Itches like a motherfricker.

Ivy. Got a bad yak burn this weekend. Doesn't even compare to ivy on the sack.

I've got poison ivy right now, and I'd gladly take a bad sunburn instead.


Poison ivy is terrible in the sun. Sweating = that spreading. I'd take the burn

By the time it itches, sweating isn't going to spread it. I'm pretty allergic, but after you learn to control the itch, it really isn't all that bad. Of course, a little aloe vera and lidocaine will go a long way toward making sunburn tolerable. On balance, I think I'd rather have the sunburn.

Never had poison ivy. Several other people in my family aren't allergic as well. That said, I've had sunburn that made me feel worse than even the worst hangover I've ever had plus having the flu at the same time

Went froggin this weekend in the basin. Ended up with poison ivy on my face arms and my junk. That's what happens when you drink a shitload of beer and have to take a piss after going trough a pile of poison ivy. Sucks so bad right now.

How does that even happen?


Clearing some land in AL for a new food plot. Hot as hell outside and had to pee. Never thought twice about it until the boys swole up on me that night. I had that pink stuff everywhere.

I usually put bleach on any poison oak/ivy I get to help dry it up. Aint no way in hell I was dipping the boys in a bowl of bleach

Poison ivy does suck but when it's at it's most itchy. Run that shite under some hot water and it's almost orgasmic.

My worst was forgetting bug spray when I went night yak fishing. I would wager I had 400 200 bites on each leg by the time I got out of the water. Woke up every 2 hours itching.

But then your nuts could play for ULL

Dish soap helps dry it out too
